My Accessories Are Not Receiving Power; Tread Audio; Tools And Materials Needed; Tread Audio Box Mounting Considerations - Garmin TREAD XL BAJA CHASE EDITION Owner's Manual

My accessories are not receiving power

• Verify the Garmin PowerSwitch device is receiving power from the vehicle battery.
• Verify that your vehicle's battery is supplying at least 12 V of power.
The Garmin PowerSwitch device turns off all outputs automatically to preserve your vehicle's battery if it is
receiving less than 11 V of power. Outputs turn back on when the device detects more than 12 V of power.
• Verify that all electrical connections are secure and will not come loose while operating the vehicle.
• Verify that each connected accessory draws less than 30 A.
If an accessory draws more than 30 A, the device turns off that output automatically.
• Verify that the total system load is less than 100 A.
If the device detects a system load of more than 100 A, it turns off all outputs automatically.
• Inspect all electrical connections for an electrical short circuit.

Tread Audio

Garmin strongly recommends having an experienced installer with the proper knowledge of electrical systems
install the device. Incorrectly wiring the power cable can result in damage to the vehicle or the battery and can
cause bodily injury.
You can use a connected Tread Audio system to control audio and LED lights from your Tread XL device.

Tools and Materials Needed

• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill
• Drill bit (the size varies based on the surface material and screws used)
• Crimping pliers
• Wire strippers
• Heat gun
• 4 mm and 5 mm hex drivers or hex keys
NOTE: For customized installations, additional tools and materials may be needed.

Tread Audio Box Mounting Considerations

In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed
dangerous to touch. Therefore, you must install the device in a location where it is not touched during operation.
The storage and operating temperature ranges for this device are listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions,
may cause device failure. Device damage and related consequences caused by extended exposure to these
conditions are not covered by the warranty.
• You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme
temperatures.
• You should mount the device so that the cables can be connected easily.
• To achieve IP67 water ingress protection and optimal heat sink cooling, you must mount the device on a
vertical surface with the connectors pointing downward.
• You can mount the device on a horizontal surface, but such positioning might not achieve IPX67 water
ingress protection.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should install the device at least 203 mm (8 in.) away
from a compass.
